What is some examples of gravitational potential energy?
Any object that is higher than ground level in earth's gravitational field has potential energy stored in it. Examples: 1. A plane or bird in the sky 2. A parachutist 3. Water stored in a dam, or water tanks at some height above earth's surface 4. A satellite orbiting Earth
What are the 2 big categories that energy is divided into?
Two of the biggest areas of energy study in high school physics is kinetic energy (energy of an object that is moving) and potential energy (the potential of an object to do work - such as being being at the top of an inclined plane). However there are MANY other forms of energy.
Why gravitational constant is constant while when acceleration due to gravity is change?
gravity of earth is constant in any plane but the acceleration may vary becoz of irregular plane
How is energy transferred into an inclined plane?
Energy is transferred into an inclined by effort
If the same model plane travel 3 times faster than the same model airplane what is the kinetic energy of the faster plane?
The kinetic energy of an object varies as the square of its velocity (Kinetic energy = mv2/2). So a plane with the same mass travelling at 3 times the velocity will have 9 times the kinetic energy.
